(from colophon): Primu[m] Liber vnus de moribus -- Liber vnus de formula honestæ vitæ vel de quattuor virtutibus cardinalibus -- Liber vnus ad Gallionem de remedijs fortuitorum -- Libri decem declamationum -- Libri duo de clæmentia ad Neronem -- Libri septem de beneficijs ad Eburtium Liberalem -- Libri tres de Ira ad Nouatum -- Liber vnus de mundi gubernatione diuina prouidentia [et] quare multa mala bonis viris accidant -- Liber vnus de beata vita ad Gallionem -- Liber vnus de consolatione ad Martiam -- Liber vnus de consolatione ad Albinam matrem suam -- Liber vnus de tranquillitate vitæ ad Serenum -- Liber vnus quomodo in sapientem non cadit iniuria -- Liber vnus de breuitate vitæ ad Paulinum cui continuatur liber vnus de consolatione fratris ad Polybium sine inscriptione [et] interuallo ex incuria famuli componentis qui incipit Nostra compares firma sunt -- Prouerbia Senecæ -- Ultimo eiusdem Epistolæ ad Lucillum centumuiginti quinque.
The following works listed in the colophon are spurious: De moribus, De formula honestæ vitæ vel de quattuor virtutibus cardinalibus, De remediis fortuitorum, Libri decem declamationum, and Proverbia. The De moribus and the De formula honestae vitae are by Saint Martin of Braga and the Libri decem declamationum by Seneca the Elder. The Proverbia Senecae is " ... a collection of sentences, derived from the plays of Publilius Syrus and enlarged from other sources, especially the apocryphal Liber de moribus ... [which] were frequently published with title L.A. Senecae et P. Syri mimi Sententiae (Proverbia) ..." Cf. LCCS PA6648.P8-.P9.
